The link between educational attainment and positive health is well documented. However sometimes schools find that the incidence of health-related needs amongst their pupils requires more clinical support, in addition to that available from core services provided through local health commissioning.
Health commissioners provide a range of ‘core’ services supporting the public health needs of school age children. As one of the largest NHS providers of commissioned community health services in the country, our teams of clinical professionals possess a wealth of experience in meeting the health needs of children and young people of all abilities, gained over many years.
However schools sometimes find that the specific health needs in their school cannot be completely met by locally-commissioned core services alone.
BCHC Plus has been created to address this need and offers a portfolio of additional clinical services, provided by the trust and supplementing core services. It enables schools to purchase additional clinical time and access more of the skills and experience of the NHS staff and services they know and trust, focused on schools’ individual health needs and desired outcomes.
